Bettina Böhm (Dipl. Geogr.)
Besides my key areas of research in geoscientific remote sensing, since 2010 I am dealing as research coordinator with the establishment and expansion of innovative R&D networks with partners in the European and in the Asian-Pacific Research Area. Since Feb. 2021 I am involved in the European Universities Initiative "European Campus of City-Universities" (EC2U) being in charge of coordinating activities at Friedrich Schiller University in the work package "Sustainable Cities and Communities".
In addition, I am involved in the preparation, application and implementation of third-party funded projects for national and international funding programs. These activities include self-responsible project presentations at national and international events (conferences, trade fairs, public relations).
Over the past 20 years, I have gained experience in project management including contract design in the national and international environment and have been able to establish a large number of contacts with funding organizations and project partners.
